Description: This audio report (13'36'') acts as a collaborative report for the Paris Station gathering of the CIRCUL'ARTs network in September 2025. The piece is made of a local soundwalk and snippets of sounds, music and voice messages exchanged between the members of a WhatsApp group formed as a result of this gathering. It's also a brief reflection introducing a draft proposal for a collaborative mind-mapping of our network—linking our places, practices, skills, and values as a way to support deeper collaboration beyond physical gatherings. This audio outlines the importance of mapping our contexts and also shares some concerns about the sustainability of future meeting locations, echoing participants’ reflections on community and environmental impact.
